I agree that's a pretty good value, but this is something you never see other teams doing. Why not just let just match an appropriate offer and pay market value? What teams are even interested in Thompson right now?

I just think Petrie hands out extensions too easily (Francisco Garcia, Beno, Mikki Moore). He's the worst negotiator in the business because he consistently overpays mediocre guys.

I felt the same way about Thornton's contract. MT is probably worth it, but where was he going to get a bigger offer? Why give in to the player so soon?

Eh, I wouldn't say so necessarily. Whiteside is a huge question mark and it is unknown if he will become a regular contributor. Hayes was fairly bad last season and isn't really big enough for us to have basically a 3 man rotation of Cuz (6'10-6'11), T-Rob (6'9), and Hayes (6'6). JT fits in perfectly as the 3rd big who can play both PF and C at 6'11 and Hayes will be played as a situational 4th big.

I mean what the Kings did last season was start Thompson at the 4, and Cousins at the 5 while bringing Hayes off the bench. Hayes is undersized and he just had an off year, considering it was his first time playing for a new team other than Houston, so he's getting used to a different playing style. I think he'll have a much stronger year this year. I also think the addition of Robinson will fit in really nicely this year for Sacramento.

The rare times that Whiteside's not injured he's playing garbage minutes as he still makes rookie defensive mistakes and is a blackhole on offense. Greene has poor defense as a big man and is a more suitable perimeter defender. Hayes is undersized and has played poorly.

The only consistency we have at C and PF are Boogie and JT. While we do have a good amount of bigs you can never expect what kind of game they'll have and more likely its a bad game. Can't wait to see how Robinson pans out seeing as JT has no drive whatsoever.
